Brewer's yeast is particularly rich in chromium, amongst other nutrients. Chromium has been shown to play a useful role in stabilising blood-glucose levels and so could be helpful in managing diabetes. However, research giving supplements of brewer's yeast or chromium to elderly adults proved both these supplements effective in raising blood chromium levels - but with no effect on blood sugar control.

Diabetes UK takes the stance that it's better to get essential minerals and vitamins from food than to take a supplement and asserts that people with diabetesshould not see supplements as a replacement for prescribed medication.

It's a nutritional myth that Brewer's yeast is a rich source of vitamin B12 - it isn't. In nature, Brewer's yeast naturally grows alongside bacteria which can make B12, but the purified forms of yeast found in supplement pills are B12 free. Somesupplements are fortified with B12, listed on the ingredient label.
